Broken Glass at My Doorstep

Troubles and toils

and rubbish and loyals:

bit by bit there's an echo.

It hounds us down even if we yell, "Let go!"


Irreplaceable and sweet

and a dove's soothing treat:

all that is left is silence beyond repair.

Children are left crying and that's not fair.


Fear and terror

and war forever.

"There's broken glass at my doorstep, sir."

"Nothing I can do about that, sir, the world's a cur."


Peace and love

and happiness abound and the white dove:

a fairytale, reality is broken, nowhere to go.

Just sweep the shards away for another day, no?
